He sa{d that mi letter distinctly defining his position to an old friend, Mr. Charles G. Smith, of Washington, Ga.; that Mr. Smith had written requesting him to State his position under his own hand. Mr. Ste- phens sald he had not retained copy of the let. r. He gave it to correspomlents of Georgia pers as soon as it was wriften, as it_was in- nded for publication.

MOTION TO RECONSIDER THES FER CENT LAND BILL. Mr. Pugh moved to reconsider the final vote on the passage of the 5 per cent land bill, and, as the Measure had been sent to the House, he coupled with the motion a request for the return Of the ‘ball ye Senate. The motion prevailed—yeas 26, nays Mr. Conger, before the result was announced, changed his vote from the negative to the aftirm- ative, in order to enter a motion to reconsider the vote just taken. After some delay and confuston consequent upon a misunderstanding as to the pending motion, the chair (Mr. Davis) ruled at the debate was not in order upon a reconsideration, and Mr. Conger final; Gee that he had not made such a motion, but simply given notice of his intention to make it. fter a confused discussion, in which the majority seemed to be quite entangled bythe tactics ot their opponents, a motion by Mr. Harris to re- consider the motion of Mr.Pugh, was peremptorily tabled—yeas 2, nays 23.

The vote resulted—yeas 129; nays 1, (Phelps)—17 less than a quoruin; and a call of thé louse was ordered. The roll call having been concluded, the names of the absentees were called and a ‘motion was made by Mr. Ladd to grant Mr. Murch indefinite leave of absence on accountof sickness. ‘This was opposed by the republicans and the motion lost— yeas 105, nays 122 Mr. Murch was then excused for the day, Messrs.
